Vine Schools Trust Policies
St Andrew’s Policies
We work hard to ensure our children are safe in school and out of school.
If anyone, any adult or any child, has any safeguarding concern, including any related to radicalisation they are encouraged to contact one of our safeguarding team (Mrs Diane Fawcett, Mr Malcolm Wainford and Mrs Sheila Parton) in person, via telephone of via email.
If you have any safeguarding issue but would prefer not to speak to the Headteacher Diane Fawcett please contact Mrs Sheila Parton – office@st-andrews-weeley.essex.sch.uk.
If we have reasonable cause for concern that a child may be at risk of significant harm, we will refer to social care. This referral can be made with or without us informing parents.
For further information please read our Child Protection policy along with more information which are available at the bottom of this page or contact one of our safeguarding team.
SEND at St Andrew’s
St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School as a community reflects and celebrates the diversity of Christ’s kingdom where the able and gifted can learn from and with, those with disabilities or learning difficulties of whatever form.
Our commitment is to the needs of every child and this policy addresses our responsibility for those children with special educational needs whether long or short term, related to physical, mental, emotional or behavioural difficulties, or learning needs.
We aim to eliminate prejudice and discrimination, and to develop an environment where all children can achieve their best, become confident individuals living fulfilling lives and feel safe.
We believe that educational inclusion is about equal opportunities for all learners.
All teachers are teachers of children who have special educational needs and therefore fulfil their responsibility by meeting the needs of all children through:
- Differentiating the curriculum and varying their teaching styles in order to meet the variety of needs that children display.
- Assessing needs in conjunction with the SENCo, parents and pupils.
- Providing suitable materials which will help the children in their care to consolidate practise and extend their skills.
- Providing the necessary time for these activities, either individually or in small groups, during the school day.
